Quality Assurance
All our sessions have been developed to the highest standards by professional museum educators and have been researched and piloted with teachers from schools in Herefordshire's Education Action Zone.
We employ experienced museum educators to deliver the sessions and they are all appropriately trained.
Evaluation of the sessions is an ongoing process.

Resources used consist of original objects or high quality replicas, most of which relate to local history.
